Union Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan, a two-time Kerala State president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is in the middle of hectic campaigning for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from the Attingal constituency in Kerala.
The constituency is set for a three-cornered fight with sitting MP Adoor Prakash of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and sitting MLA V. Joy of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) also in the fray.
In an interview with The Hindu ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Mr. Muraleedharan spoke extensively on issues that have dominated the poll campaign in recent weeks in Kerala. He expressed confidence that the expectations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi coming back to power will improve the chances of the party’s candidates in Kerala where the BJP is yet to win a Lok Sabha seat.
